Doesn't add up for me...

[Pneathery]

Hope you don't mind, but I'm using your post as defense WOH! My wife says I'm spending more time than normal in my "damn forum sites" and blames ECF...now I can say "Well at least I don't check in on mobile!" LOL!

I actually cheat, I surf from my iPad using my Android phone as the Internet access, I'll be at the beach surfing the net some days, it drives my wife crazy! She asks me why don't I just read like she and my daughter are doing, at which point I point out that's all that I ever do on my iPad! She doesn't like the answer.

WOW it really shows how different we all are. I was a pack a day smoker of ultra lights and now I vape 1ml and it takes me two days to go through that at 6mg nic. I started out a 11mg nic and it gave a huge buzz. I couldn't even imagine 10ml a day

Yeah, it doesn't help my case when I point out that my iPad has my entire library in it and that I *DO* read with it either. Think I'm just gonna say it's a "guy thing" from now on.

I never tried to figure out how much I used. I buy about 50 ml a month and this month I only used 35ml. Not sure how much that translates into but I don't think its 10 ml a day by far.

I'm not feeling well today, so I'm not sitting in front of my computer. Android to the rescue!

Smoked two packs a day. I seem to use about 16ml of 18-24mg juice a month. Also keep a few prefilled cartos on hand as backups and to loan to smoking friends when they visit, since the house is now smoke free.


CORRECTION TO ABOVE: Oh snap! Just noticed that the bottles are 30ml and not 10ml. So that would make it 48ml a month.

What they said. Everyone's got different needs. Your body will tell you when enough is enough. If you're getting too much nic just lower your level. I had to do this because now that I can freely vape indoors I will vape for hours without much of a break. I just usually use 12mg juice when I know I'll be chain vaping. I use 18mg when I first wake up or when I go a stretch without it. Works for me

And even when I am vaping heavily I think the most I have probably gone through is about 5ml a day. Typically probably 3-4 ml a day. Just taper your nic level to the amount you go through.

I only seem to go through about a tank a night, so 1-2ml, more weekends like I posted already. So even with the math, I'm down compared to cigs I'm sure. No plans to drop the nicotine.

 

[dormouse]

Nothing wrong. I don't know how some people can put away so much nicotine. Some ecigs and atomizer types do vaporize a lot more juice per drag it seems. Maybe after a certain point a bunch of the vapor is wasted. No idea.

I am with you - I smoked 1.5 PAD of 18mg cigs and started out vaping 1.5mg per day of 18mg juice by vaping about the same amount as I smoked. I was determined to not increase my nicotine habit by vaping a lot and I did not. I often leave the PV in another room so I have to go there to vape it. if I sit it next to me I end up vaping too much.

Because I do not vape constantly it was pretty easy for me to drop my nicotine level over a weekend - went right from 18mg to 12mg and just vaped extra to smooth over the transition. Lost a bunch of TH on that drop but I have flavors I like and it's OK. I hope to continue to lower my nicotine.

w4hen you cape, you get all the nicotine in the juice. When people use analogs, the nicotine consumption varies. I smoked menthol light 120's. I smoked the entire cigarette. I could finish my 120 before friends would finish their regular ones. If you were the type to take a drag and let it burn a bit then gaping may be more nicotine than your body is used to. For me I started with 36 mg juice. Now I use mostly 24 mg. I am going through 3-5 ml per day.

I was never a heavy cigarette smoker, i started out at 24 mg/ml and got alot of nic od those first couple of days until I realized I was vaping way too much for the amount of nic I was absorbing i was vaping about 4 ml a day then, and i was a half apad smoker for 5 years after i cut back from 24 years of apad now i did smoke newport 100 so kinda heavy on the nic there but no where near 24 mg/ml but personally i believe everyone has different absortion rates so some need more at one time than others but now im down to about 2 ml of 19 mg on a heavy day and about 1 1/2 on average.....

I vaped a 30ml bottle of 8mg menthol last weekend... Usually a 30ml bottle lasts me 3-4 days...

i can confirm that the ego tank goes thru juice like mad for me!! 3 tanks will only last me half a day at best on the tank. on my mini reo, which has a 3ml bottom feeding bottle will last all day and night. so who the hell knows. i chain vape as well. i have to have it in my hands at all times

 

[redgypsy]

I was a carton a week ultralight smoker who would smoke them down to the filter. I vape 3-5ml a day, jumping around from 6-12mg with the occasional 18mg for a few hits when needed. I may actually DIY myself some 3mg soon just to see if that'll work as well.

 

[BGhere]

New vaper here, but I can estimate I would be on track for ~2ml/day. I was a 1PAD for years.

 

[texastumbleweed]

glad i aint the only one going thru this much joose! you and me together alone could keep some vendors in business ha ha! surfside beach sounds like a nice place. i used to live near hilton head island (well, close enough to go there on a day trip to teh beach, about an hour drive)....

I smoked between 3-5 PACKS a day (the 5a day was when I was really stressed) I found myself at times buying a carton of smokes on Monday after work, and by Tuesday when I came home there would be only 2-3 packs left in the carton, my wife smokes too, but after I quit she bought a carton, and it lasted her TWO WEEKS! So I was a pretty heavy smoker, and am a heavy vapor. I have at times found myself having emptied a newly filled, inserted tank in under 15 minutes. What is that like 1.5 ml, well I fill them 3/4 full so they drain well. But I do go through ALOT sometimes. I was just at church, waiting on my wife. I was out in the car surfing this site, for an hour, and ended up emptying one new tank cart, refilling it, and by the time I got home that one was empty as well. So in less then an hour and a half.....3ml.
I VAPE 24MG. When I first started I bought 90ML of 16MG, and it made me feel sick, actually physically sick. I felt "chemically" all over, I wanted to smoke so bad, thought that this vaping thing was a HUGE mistake, couldn't stand to inhale anymore, and didn't know what I ever saw in it (when I first started I had a plain bottle of clear juice from a friend, I have no idea what was in it, or the strength. But I will say that I could BARELY VAPE it. I definatley couldn't chain VAPE it. When I did.......I felt like I had smoked way to much) my wife was going to try vaping, but thought 16 was WAY too low for her, so I ordered her some 24MG menthol juice, and I started chain vaping that when I got it. All of those symptoms went away! My chemically feeling went away, I LOVED vaping again, and all of that. The 24 didn't do it for my wife, so I then purchased 36MG for her, and when that came in, WOW i also got my new tank system with that order, and I was way more excited about the juice. Jenny vapes the 36 all day, I VAPE it every now and then only when I'm REALLY CRAVING, but everyone is different.
Think about it, when I smoked, on really bad days I would smoke up to 200 cigarettes a day! I literally chain smoked all day, I haven't added up how much I VAPE, but I'm guessing it would be between 6-12 tank cartridges.

LOL! Maybe someday if dreams really do come true.

me: "hi, triple grande vanilla latte and 3 cartos of 24mg chocolate, please. Thanks."

"You mean 3 cartos of Grande chocolate. That will be $72.18 , please."

Head is spinnin with all the math - I do have a few more sleepless nights than I had with analogs, but I know I just need to turn down the nic level when the sun sets. During the day my high is usually 24 mg.

 

[Astronomer]

Or that I am not normal.

Who would want to be normal?

I am going through 2.5 ml a day 24mg nic

 

[Hotwire]

We really are all different. I swear to gog I don't care about the nic buzz at all. I knew when i was / am smoking that it wasn't about the nicotione, rather the habbit.

For me it's all in the action and the inhaling and exhaling of something tasty, 11mg juices are way enough for me.

Though with the cigs it is a bit more about the chemicals as I do feel relaxed, but with vaping i just get a stimulant feeling and pounding head, which I really don't care for at all, hence the low nic juices I use.

Just a question of finding that which suits our own idiosychrasies. I'm not there yet with regards to juice and eqpt and it can be costly, but hey ho, it's something to do.
